In front of the ruins of the Parthenon in Athens.
Today, I stand in front of you before one of the great symbols of the past. The Parthenon, built by the ancient Greeks who were, of course, the founders of Western Civilization, and, perhaps even more importantly, the inventors of Democracy. That great form of government from which all manner of countries were ruled under and thrived, not the least of which is our Federation. Democracy that lead to the unification of all the earth under one, common flag.
This flag, which we have all come to love so much, needs leadership, and I believe that only I can lead our Federation to the greatest heights that it can reach. I can see a few of you in the crowd shaking your heads, wondering how I can make such grandiose claims, and to that I respond, "Then you run for President." There is a grand total of one candidate running for office, and I don't see anyone else jumping into the political arena to challenge me, so it is time to look to the future, a time that I hope will be even brighter than today.
However, I cannot do this alone, one man cannot govern over 500 million people by himself no matter how handsome he is. Therefore, I need help, and that help will be in the form of Ministers and a Vice President, and I ask all who are qualified to speak up and apply, for no government can function without your help. I cannot guarantee every one a job, but I can guarantee that I will choose the best people for this job, and with their help we shall make a Victorious Humanity.

Candidate for President of the Terran Federation
